X2. He should also be eating something bigger (if he'll take it.. )

She doesn't seem to like fuzzies as of yet. I typically feed her a few pinks 2x a week. She wrapped the little tongs and I didn't want to pry her off, her tail wrapped my finger, and she just did her thing. I just sat there very still until she was done. Never happened to me before with any snake I've kept.

Well since my snakes don't talk to me I just go off the signals they give. She ate that way and seemed fine. What if I tried to move her and stressed her out?...someone else would have had their theory about stressing them out too.
